Oh I hate it when I do that. I wrote a whole page and Lost it. Don't ask me what I did. So anyway, I didn't write at all Yesterday which is a surprise because it was a great day.
Adam's Birthday (29) is on the 13th so we decided that we would celebrate at Lagoon Frightmares. When he was little we always did a Halloween theme so it was super fun. We had a fun little picnic and Superman cupcakes, the weather was amazing and I felt pretty good. It was all around the most perfect day I have had in a long time. I was very wiped when I finally got home but I must say it was worth every bit of the exhaustion. I didn't go to work today. Not enough sleep with this stinking head cold. I did spend the morning with my Baby sister. We got to go to the Layton D.I. for those of you who don't know I am a Thrift store junkie. We had a bit of "emotional" talk and I had an Ephiphany. I am not sure if Sunday was superly magical or if I am just learning to appreciate the little things in life. I am a firm believer that when you come very close to the possibilty of death you live you life a bit different. I plan to live mine to the fullest.
I am finding true friends and actually finding the "Real" me in the process. You never know who you truly are until you are faced with adversity and make it through to the other side. I stick up for myself more than I ever have and I feel pretty good about it.
Off to watch Dancing with the Stars. TTYL>
I'm glad to see you writing of the emotional and spiritual growth your horrid disease brings. I found the same thing last year in my crisis. Somehow conversations seem different now, the seasons have more meaning, laughs and tears are much more meaningful. The other day I spent an hour watching storm clouds over the mountains and couldn't believe how unspeakably beautiful they were. I wasn't that way before. In many ways, cancer IS a gift. Sounds weird, but true. Tx for sharing and your insightful thoughts. I'm praying for you Janice. In His grace - wes
